Summer Love in the Midnight Avenue

Blue soda skies and motel signs Your hand tangled up in mine Barefoot on boulevards and cheap gold rings and suntanned hands Your cigarette burns low Smoke fading through the night And every word you said that summer Still echoes underneath my skin You kissed me slow beneath the soft street light Like we could freeze forever in that night And even now your shadow glows Like a sunset living in my soul Hold me close before the daylight fades Spin me through those summer waves Heaven drips in gold across your eyes A summer love in the midnight sky Even if the world keeps moving on Your melody still lives inside my heart Every heartbeat, every afterglow Still pulls me back to your summer love Late night diners with blue sites Movie scenes and swimming pools, yeah Your leather jacket held the scent of rain and gasoline Like a memory that stayed We drove too fast to paradise Laughing like we'd never die Young enough to burn forever Too lost to ever say goodbye You kissed me slow beneath the soft street light Like all the stars had turned to satellites And every road I wander through Still bends itself right back to you Hold me close before the daylight fades Spin me through those summer waves Heaven drips in gold across your eyes A summer halo in the midnight sky Even if the world keeps moving on Your melody still lives inside my heart Every heartbeat, every afterglow Still pulls me back to your summer love Maybe love was never built to stay Maybe that's what makes it beautiful anyway Some people fade like coastal rain Some become the blood inside your veins Hold me close before the daylight fades Dance with me through endless summer waves Even as the years erase the shore Your light still washes through my core Summer love, lightning in the dark Living like a fire inside my heart Every dream and every afterglow Still sings your name, summer love Summer love
